I hear this claim a fair bit, admittedly often in communist spaces.

It is said that any group of people bigger than 50-200 people “requires” hierarchy.

I’m not sure about that.

What do anarchists make of this?

    only necessary in military for coordinated action.

    Thats not true. Hierarchy in convential and historical militaries is used for many reasons, such as that the military serves the interest of those at the top.

    Other conflict scenarios such as riots show that hierarchy is not necessary to win or reach certain goals.
